This newly created position offers a rare opportunity to join an early-stage company with active projects, multiple entities, and ambitious growth plans—including launching a general contracting division.

With just over $10M in current revenue and the potential to realize $70M–$100M across its ventures, this firm is positioned for significant expansion. The Controller will be a trusted partner to the CEO and play a pivotal role in bringing day-to-day accounting in-house.

• Handling daily bookkeeping, cash flow, and bank reconciliations
• Creating and maintaining project-level budgets and forecasts
• Preparing monthly/quarterly financial statements and internal reports
• Recording soft/hard costs, capitalized interest, and tracking overall development spend
• Managing AR processes for the firm’s investment funds
• Helping implement internal controls, approval processes, and accounting infrastructure
• Working directly with the CEO and supporting project onboarding/setup

✅ Must-Have Qualifications
• 5+ years of accounting experience in real estate development or construction
• Strong understanding of construction financials (job costing, draws, cost tracking)
• Experience with multi-entity accounting and QuickBooks Online
• High level of organization, independence, and attention to detail
• Excel proficiency and ability to develop cash flow models and financial projections
• Familiarity with real estate capital structures (debt, equity, promote models)

Ideal Traits
• Plug-and-play mindset — ready to jump in without needing system training
• Entrepreneurial spirit with comfort in fast-paced or early-stage environments
• Someone who sees opportunity in chaos and thrives building processes from scratch
• Willingness to grow with the company and eventually own the full accounting function

Why Join?
• High-impact role with direct access to leadership and decision-making
• Long-term growth potential, including the ability to build out a full finance team
• Flexible schedule (generally 8–4), remote-friendly, and highly collaborative culture
• Open to equity opportunities and performance-based growth
• Chance to be part of a real estate firm with vision, momentum, and integrity
